The Share Operation has failed: QuickTime Error: -50

I just updated to FCP X 10.0.8 and all of the sudden I am getting share errors when I attempt to export. I have tried sharing to youtube and sharing for apple devices at 1280px X 720px using H.264 codec. Each time I get a quicktime error: -50.
I am editing on a Mac Mini 2.7 GHZ Intel i7. 8GB memmory OS 10.8.3. The video files are AVCHD 1920x1080 24fps and live on an external 6 tb GTech Raid external hard drive.
So far, I have tried deleting both my project file's render files and event render files. I have copied the project to a new project and re-rendered. Each time, I am seeing that several tiny little segments are showing as un-rendered (orange bars above clip on timeline). I'm guessing that this might have something to do with the error?
I am not using any images and the music I am using is an AIFF file. I re-timed some of the clips for slow motion.
When I try to share as "export file" > Video and Audio > Apple Pro Res 422 at 1920 x 1080 I get "The share operation Export File has failed" The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 1403 (error - 1). But I'm not sure how to view frame numbers.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I've tried deleting all the render files several times and it doesn't work.
Interestingly enough, when I copy the bad clips individually to a new project and then export them, they export just fine. They do not have the weird orange render bars.
Check out this link to see a screenshot of my timeline.
I'm not sure if my clips are optimized. My import preferences have the "create optimized media" checkbox checked, but when I actually imported the files, I did not check the "create optimized media" checkbox. Although, on my hard drive there is a folder for transcoded media > high quality media and it has some clips in there, including the bad clips. So I guess it created optimized media? Is there another way to tell if a clip has been optimized.
Here is a screenshot of my preferences.
Here are my project properties.

Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8% before this happens any idea how to fix I have a movie deadline to meet!

Hi all,
Finished editing a short movie.
Then went to share on vimeo but got this message - see also screenshot when I tried to export to desktop.
Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8%.
Have tried deleting my render files for the project and also another fix mentioned of deleting any black space files on the edit itself but neither work?
Just upgraded to OS Mavericks could this be causing it? If so how to downgrade?
thanks

Thanks for your help both, I called Apple tech support and spoke to a really helpful chap called Andrea who helped me out. Now got my Master file sorted and am trying Vimeo upload again.
Just to clarify points for people out there with the same issue:
First steps
- Ensure background rendering is turned off in preferences
- Delete project and events render files
- If upgraded to Mavericks then go to FCPX in finder under applications hit buttons 'CMD' and 'I' together and tick the 'prevent App Nap' box.
Next Steps
I had already done all of this when Apple Tech spoke to me so we discussed the message 'Quicktime -50' and what it meant. It wasnt a purely generic error message but was not detailed enough to point to one specific issue. This problem had occurred in previous years (so Mavericks not wholly to blame) and patches were issued over the years by Apple to help resolve some of the problems.
The message essentially is indicating that there is a problem somewhere with the media in some way shape or form.
My export went to 8% then failed. Apple's answer was that the project settings were corrupted in some way.
So what they suggested (so simple I could kick myself) was to select all the media files by 'CMD + A' then copy them 'CMD + C' then create and open a new project timeline, and then paste in 'CMD + V'.
Then we tried export again this time to a master file with some settings detailed by Apple.
The difference now was it got to 40% then failed but due to a different reason 'error -1 frame 10124 error'
At last we get past the project issues and into the event media issues, it seems that when I loaded the compact flash last night, the iMac kept ejecting the reader so had to copy files over quickly and seems that some of the file clip I used although showed on the viewer, didn't seem to have loaded all the correct media, so selecting this clip frame 10124 on the viewer I found that it showed as red on the frame row which implied an issue. So I simply bladed it off and deleted it.
Then I reran the export to Master file and it worked, though jumping from 40% to 100% complete was a shock to me!
Now am trying the export to Vimeo - hope this helps some of you out there. Worst case pick up the phone to Apple and speak to the Final Cut Pro guys they can help.
best wishes,
Louis B

The share operation Blu- ray has failed. quicktime Error: 0

the share operation Blu- ray has failed. quicktime Error: 0 anyone any idea how i overcome this ?

Are you working with native media? If you are, see if Final Cut will let you transcode a clip to Pro Res 422. Do an export test with that single clip. (Write the output to a disk image so you don't waste a disk.)

HT201197 how do i fix this (the share operation DVD has failed Quicktime error 0

Ho w do i fix this - The share operation DVD has failed Quicktime error 0

Select a short section of your project and export as a Pro Res master file.
If that also fails, turn off BG Rendering; delete project render files; copy the entire Timeline to a new project.

How to fix: the share operation master file has failed quicktime error: -50

So Whenever i export my HD 1080p file in FCPX 10.0.8 i get this error "the share operation master file has failed quicktime error: -50"
Please help!!!!
It happens about 12% of the way in. My movie is only 10 minutes long.

Download it. Quit FCPX. select FCPX in this tool and and click on trash. Restart FCPX and try again to export. Empty trash. It will do no harm but you have to set your settings in preferences in FCPX after that. Every application has preferences files and they can become corrupt. FCPX will build new fresh preferences after you open it.

Share operation dvd has failed QuickTime error 0

My 44 minutes long project in Final Cut Pro 10.0.9 project fails with a message: "Share operation DVD has failed, QuickTime Error: 0". I use OSX 10.9.
Yesterday, I rectified the situation by rebooting the system and starting to "share" again. To-day made a few extra corrections here and there but nothing simple works. I even removed the background photo from the DVD opening menu but no success :-((
Ross's earlier advice on this forum was:
"Select a short section of your project and export as a Pro Res master file.
If that also fails, turn off BG Rendering; delete project render files; copy the entire Timeline to a new project.
Russ"
Could you please be more specific. I am a novice to FCP.
1.How to select a short section ? Select 4-5 frames (yellow band) from the timeline ?
2. How to _export_ as a ProRes file ? From File > Share > Master File (default) ? (Or if it has to be an "export" perhaps File >Export XML ?)
3. How and where to turn off BC Rendering ?
4. How to delete project render files ? File > "Delete Project Redner Files" is not highlighted in the File menu, so how to select this action ?
5. How to copy the entire Timeline into a new project ? File >New Project ? Then select the whole of the old timeline, copy > paste into the new timeline ? Or a different method ?
I think that it is better to ask even some simple (for experts) questions ? :-)
Many thanks,
Kris

1) Either use the Range tool or set in and out points on the Timeline.
2) Either way will work. For example, Share>Master File and choose Pro Res in the Settings>Video Codec field.
3) Background Rendering can be turned off in Preferences.
4) Select the project in the Project Library first.
5) Create a new project with settings to be determined automatically by first clip. In the original project, Command-A and then Command-C. Open the new project, click in the Timeline window to activate and hit Command-V.
Good luck.

The Share Operation Export File has failed QuickTime Error -50

Hi, i've been trying 6 times or more to export a file from FCPX. I have done this many times but now it's failing with the above error. I have nearly 300GB of space on my drive. Any solutions?

This video had something like 30 powerpoint slides (jpegs) added and this is obviously a problem because as soon as i removed them it worked fine. Not sure what the limit is but will have to experiment. thanks for your help.

Error message: "The share operation Apple Devices 1080p has failed"

Hey,
I have a MacBook Air, OS X version 10.9.3, running Mavericks, with 1.7 GHz and 8 GB memory. I'm running FCPX 10.0.8.
I've had no problems rendering and exporting all sorts of movies and short clips over the last few months, however every time I try to export my last clip, this message shows up after the clip is 10% done exporting: "The share operation Apple Devices 1080p has failed QuickTime Error: - 50"
I've already clicked on "prevent app nap" under Get Info for FCPX.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on, or can offer a solution to this?
Thanks so much!
Terra

Since you have already checked the Prevent App Nap box I assume you have seen this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21920134#21920134
Seems likely to me that either one of the files in your timeline is giving you trouble or a render in your timeline is giving you trouble. I sometimes randomly run in to export errors with transitions or titles. Sometimes removing the effect/title from the timeline, deleting the render files or copying and pasting the timeline in to a new project can fix it.

Outlook 2007/2010 with Exchange 2010 missing tasks operation has failed only on PC not OWA

We have searched this topic to no success I'm baffled as to how to resolve this problem.
End user software: Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010,
Server side: MS Server 2012 R2 with MS Exchange 2010
Scenario: We have merged 2 forests together to a new forest. Months before hand had rolled out exchange 2010. A majority of users in
forest2 still are on Office 2007 where as users in
forest1 are nearly all on Office 2010.
Now so far we have 3 users (from Forest2) whom have reported 'missing tasks' with the message 'Operation has Failed' when attempting to view their tasks.
We have ran the outlook commands related to this type of issue that clear the reminders and resetting them with - No Success.
They have no issue when using OWA, or Outlook via mobile device. The issue only occurs on PC. We have tried profile rebuilds, fresh SOE, the issue appears to be resolved but the next time the user opens Outlook the problem comes back.
On the server we have ran all the integrity checks no corruption has been found in any way.

Hi,
I recommend that you try the following method on client PC and then check the result:
Click Start >> Click Run >> Type outlook.exe /resettodobar
>> Click OK.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Error when Share to File "The share operation 'File' has failed. Cannot create file."

Upgraded to Mavericks and the new iMovie. Imported a video from iPhone 5 to edit, and then tried to Share File.
Error every time, it says that "The share operation 'File' has failed. Cannot create file." It does not give any error number that would help figuring out the problem.
Late 2011 MacBookPro with 8 GB and over 150 GB free on HD.
Imported several other videos from various sources, and always the same result when trying to Share to File.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem with a 2012 Macbook Pro 15" Retina; iMovie version 10.0.3. I'm not sure why either. It was working fine until one day it quit exporting to file at all.

Export Problems: "The share operation Master File has failed"

I have read that it a dodgy import but I did it correct this time?
Any Idea how I can stop this?

I had this problem and tried evry thing on the thread "Sharing to DVD all my projects stops att 66 % - without error messages." (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4966745) but the thing that fianlly fixed it for me was your suggestion about kewords - I removed the one keyword I had and the share to DVD finally completed. Oddly though other projects with the same keyword (which FYI was P2P) all burnt to DVD fine... Anyway thanks canoel!
